President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on her birthday.
Dabiri-Erewa began her career as a broadcaster with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) before serving in the House of Representatives, where she represented Ikorodu Constituency from 2003 to 2015. During her time in the House, she chaired the Committees on Media and Publicity and Diaspora Affairs.
In his birthday message, President Tinubu described her as a devoted public servant and committed party faithful, commending her years of service to Nigerians at home and abroad.
“Abike has demonstrated love for the country and humanity over many years by consistently placing the welfare and well-being of the underprivileged at the centre of her work.
“I have noted the passion, diligence, and foresight that Dabiri-Erewa brings to her work as a journalist, lawmaker, and chief executive of NIDCOM, particularly her historic roles in pursuing social justice for Nigerians at home and abroad.
“Her patriotic role in attracting Diaspora talents to contribute to the country’s development, particularly in education, health, and sports, is commendable. She has justified the awards and recognition that have come her way.
“As you mark another special day, I pray for God’s blessings, wisdom and good health to carry on the good work you are championing,” the President said.
